Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
The rest is lickable? So, somewhere like the neck would be considered good to go?

You are baiting me in to inappropriate posts aren't you John?
 
For mushrooms? One water change a decade is more than enough.
My point exactly! Thank you for backing me up on this Tom
 
Hey guys guess what...

Well... It is raining so swimming may be on the schedule.
We're getting a few sprinkles. Now where'd I put my Speedo?
 
Good morning family! It’s beautiful across the bay this morning.

First pic made me think of a scene from Godzilla as he’s coming across the bay…

Honestly, some cultures will eat anything. I mean who was the fist person to try those critters as food? Now then you have the French. Who tried the first snail and reported it was good to eat? My guess is a small child in both cases...they like dogs will put anything in their mouth!

I was about 3 or 4 when I tried to eat a snail and it was not at a French restaurant. One of those big land snails in California...yuck! Cured me of ever wanting to eat Escargot. Did I mention my mom was 1/2 French...I blame it all on mom!
Tried to eat the thing raw? Never had escargot but I’d be willing to try once at least. I mean I’ve had chickens feet and frog legs at a Chinese restaurant and it seems that under weird they top that.
 
Just the extremely interesting fact that like the platypus they are an egg layer also. Now go and shock and aw your coworkers with this gold nugget of information!
Also they have poison spurs in their hind legs and webbing like a duck as well a tail that is shaped like a beavers and a bill like a duck…weirdest mammal ever
